“Many companies say they build ‘sports cars.’ I’m not sure what they mean. We build a car that you could drive to the Nürburgring, run a 6:33 lap, and drive home. We drove our 003S road car to Monticello Motorclub, ran 100 hot laps with a professional race car driver over the weekend, and then drove home. To me, that’s a true sports car.” - Jesse Glickenhaus, Managing Director

“Last year we were running third overall for 13 hours until the rain. With our new Michelin tires, which are the best rain tires, we have a real chance at First Overall at the 2019 24 Hours of Nürburgring.” - Jim Glickenhaus, Founder

Le Mans

We have been dreaming of racing Le Mans in a car made in the United States of America ever since Henry Ford was the last American team to win First Overall in 1967.

We were the first and, thus far, only manufacturer to commit to racing the WEC 2020/21 Season in the new top Hypercar class in the summer of 2018.

Since the WEC finalized the rules on December 5 2018, we have been working with passion.

We have taken 8 seasons of endurance racing experience, over 50,000km of endurance racing driving, and terabytes of data as a baseline to design and engineer our 007 Le Mans Hypercar.

Since the rules were finalized, we have:

Completed first work phase of budget, timeline, and detailed study of the rules;

Completed over 3,500 hours of engineering on the 007 chassis;

Completed over 7,000 hours of engineering on the 007 suspension;

Continued working with Luca Ciancetti of Podium Technology - the same team that we have been working with since we developed a hybrid KERS system for P4/5 Competizione in 2011 - to design our own LMP1 hybrid system. Our work together led us to an FIA World Champion Cup in Alternative Energies. As per the WEC rules, we will offer our new hybrid system to other hypercar teams;

Began engineering studies for engine and hybrid systems;

Committed to build no more than 30 Le Mans Road-Legal Hypercars offered at 1,955,000 USD each. 100% of the profits from these vehicles will go to fund the Le Mans/Racing program. These cars will have 800 HP engine + a 200 HP hybrid system similar to the system we use on our LMP1 car.

“A car made in America hasn’t won First Overall at Le Mans since the Ford MKIV in 1967. We think it’s time an American team wins again.” Jim Glickenhaus, Founder

“I don’t know what other companies mean when they release so-called ‘hypercars’. Our 007 will have a chassis that is FIA crash tested to LMP1 standards, suspension designed to race the WEC and Le Mans, and a similar combine HP as our LMP1 hypercar. Each 007 Founder will be invited to join our weekly engineering video conferences, our testing, and of course all of our 2020/21 races.” Jesse Glickenhaus, Managing Director

The Baja 1000

At 1000 miles, the Baja 1000 is the longest continuous off-road race in the world.

In 1967 Vin Hickey purpose built the GM-powered Baja Boot to compete in the inaugural Baja 1000 race, and it was raced by Steve McQueen and Bud Edkins.

We purchased the Boot in 2010 and imagined racing a new version.

In January 2018 we asked our designer Michael Young to imagine a new Baja Boot that was capable of racing the Baja 1000 in stock form, and then driving home. To bring this incredible challenge to life we turned to professional off-road racer and expert Darren Skilton to manage the project and racing program and builder Elliot Pollock and Armada Engineering to execute the build.

We will be racing our new Glickenhaus Boot in the 52nd Annual SCORE Baja 1000 in November 2019. We have:

Fully-engineered a new Boot to be able pre-run the Baja 1000 in stock form, or race the Baja 1000 with the Baja package;

The stock Boot, which will be able to pre-run the Baja 1000 will have:

Created an exclusive luxury tour for 14 guests to luxury tour the 2019 Baja 1000, pre-run a section of the course, and to watch the course with our team, including via a helicopter race tour;

Created for Founders a 2-day off-road driving school taught by experienced Baja 1000 racers on a 40-mile private off-road course in Ensenada.

After selling out of our 2019 Founders 2-door Boots in 2020 we will be releasing a wider footprint four-seat version of the Boot, which will include many creature comforts and performance options to allow clients to custom tailor their options.

My hope is to honor where the sport of off road has come from with something that inspires a new generation of enthusiasts” Darren Skilton, Glickenhaus Boot Project Manager

“This November we are going to drive our Glickenhaus Baja Boot from San Diego to Ensenada, race the Baja 1000, and drive home. What’s not to like?” Jim Glickenhaus, Founder

“We welcome any manufacture that makes an SUV to race our new Boot in the 2019 Baja 1000 in a stock SUV class. The Baja 1000 has a stock VW Bug class, a stock truck class, and soon, a stock SUV class.” Jesse Glickenhaus, Managing Director

After years of pursuing high performance car design, and a lifetime of loving machines (his first word as a child), Michael Young has been thrilled to join the SCG team as head designer. "Working directly with Jim to realize his goals has been such a privilege. Not only have I benefited from a complete wealth of insight about cars, history and culture, but also a community of rather incredible self driven individuals. My career started designing vacuums and PowerWheels, something of a backdoor entrance. Fitting, for a group that is all about rolling up sleeves, following the charge of a rouge visionary and redefining what is possible."
